Residents of states that refuse to set up health insurance exchanges under Obamacare are set to be hit with higher premiums under new rules announced by the Health and Human Services Department.

Insurance companies will be charged 3.5 percent of any premiums they sell through the federal exchanges, the department announced Friday. And insurers are likely to pass that surcharge on to clients, leaading to higher premiums.

Will someone please clear up this question for me (it is too late to ask it, but...)

Under the Constitution ONLY Congress has the power to levy taxes....not the executive branch, not the judiciary. Congress told us repeatedly this was a mandate,....NOT a Tax. How can Roberts levy a tax...ONE man in this country...levied a tax and we are all jumping through our assholes trying to figure out what happened. Where did Roberts get the aurtority to do this?

You are right. This has never been about health but about total control of population. Justice Roberts should be impeached.

The Supreme court said that states could to be forced to do this and by adding a new tax to it they are intact trying to once again force states to comply.Back tot he supreme court the states will have to go.

What about section 1555 of the PPACA?

The way I read section 1555, is to prohibit a penalty for any offerer’s decision not to participate in the Federal exchange. This looks like the reverse - a penalty for participating.

obama could take out an ad that that he was going to kill people and rape young boys on the White House lawn Monday morning and no one would do anything about it. The main stream media would begin gushing what a genius he is for doing this. His worshippers would say Nixon did it too. The Republican Party would collectively caress their crotch where their balls used to be and smile. But other than that, nothing else will happen.

You can forget about anything being done to get obama out of office, including as was demonstrated on November 6, 2012, voting.

But,after all is said and done, obama is not the problem that ails the United States. The problem is the bastards that continually return him to office. They, not him,will be the cause of the demise of the United States. He will do his part, but, it is the parasites and traitors that will spell the doom of this onec great nation.

Or “asking” a company to violate the law and not send out
layoff notices in the required time-frame because said
notices would come out just before the election and make
him look bad, and to sweeten the deal, he promised to pay
the company’s legal fees out of our money?

That dirt.

I am starting to think the only way this calamity could happen in the US is due to some dark unseen forces of the universe beyond our control or understanding.

Hmmm... could it be...?

If only the Republicans controlled the House, where ALL appropriations are debated. They could defund Mengelecare anytime they wanted to.

Wait. What?

Yea right, little bammy's administration is going to "streamlining operations, and avoiding regulatory duplication" ???

Yeah..he wants a new arm of the intelligence sector to focus on global warming at a cost of billions....

We already got the CIA and other agencies working on this.
